I don&#39;t always respond to mine because I figure most people won&#39;t check back.

I really prefer to email responses rather than leave one on a post, though I will do that if necessary.

As for watching for replies, where it&#39;s shown I try to remember to check of that box that will E-Mail me whenever anything is added. As for my own blog - no fancy word check, no verification - I have only had three silly spam type commets in the last year - (Probably pure luck) - which were taken care of within a few hours. Naturally - things could change in the future. Also sometimes I will reply to comments in my own blog - sometimes as a new comment - sometimes as an E-Mail. All depends on the subject. Hey - have a BIG wave!

I do NOT want to go back to a blog to look for an answer or a comment on my comment- IMHO,it&#39;s too much trouble to go searchin. PLUS- half the time I don&#39;t remember what I asked of whom !!! (aging brain...) <br />As for comment moderation, I think that is okay. I don&#39;t need instant gratification to know that my comment is being published. However, I HATE word verification. I also don&#39;t get why a person would have both word verification AND comment moderation. Spam is handled quite well these days on Blogger. Having the two is unnecessary. <br />I like what you are currently doing- If you have something to say to me, you fire me off an e-mail. If you don&#39;t wanna talk, you ignore me!

If you are blogging to a meme that has 100 listings who has time to go back. I barely make it through the first time. I always email back a comment using my personal email. Maybe that is not a good thing.

I&#39;m not known for leaving comments often...hmmm. I&#39;m not known for leaving comments often. But when I do it&#39;s because I really wanted to contribute.I tend to read all my blogs &amp; RSS feeds from within Google Reader &amp; if I want to leave a comment...I have to do so outside of Reader. So it&#39;s an extra couple of hoops to jump through, but it&#39;s no big hurdle.<br />I read way more blogs than I actually follow too - so it&#39;s not always easy to leave a comment on everyone&#39;s blogs for every post. Not all posts are worthy of a comment either on some blogs. <br />With Google analytics &amp; things like Sitemeter - folks can tell if I&#39;ve been regularly reading their blogs...even if I read thru Reader.So that should give them some comfort.<br />But to your question...I think most comments could be responded to within the comment section. Otherwise it can look like a question went overlooked by the blog owner to other blog readers...&amp; sometimes the comment section is where all the action is at. In my case, if I do go outside of Reader to leave a comment...then I tend to go back for another day or so to said blog comment section to see what other comments were posted if I think it&#39;s relevant or that the blog owner may respond. I don&#39;t expect an email generally. If I get an email - cool. But I don&#39;t expect it. Plus I have umpteen email addresses - some I regularly change or delete to keep ahead of spam so I never know what blog owner has what email for me on any given day!

Lately I had to add comment moderation. I resisted, but, then, the &quot;mmmm, not so funny, errr, sicko&quot; comments started. As a service to my readers, I had to up the anty. I don&#39;t want them finding links to Chinese porno site in my comments.<br /><br />I don&#39;t like all this typing in extra letters and moderating, but, the sickos out there force the issue. I am very sorry to lose readers because they don&#39;t like the hassle, but, oooooo, do I understand.

I think if someone takes enough time to comment, I should take the time to acknowledge, and like you said, it&#39;s more like chatting.<br /><br />I also do not like jumping through hoops to comment. I am sure many of my comments have not been recorded because the blogger has a set up that jumps the comment to the bottom of the page and then you have to do a word verification by returning to the bottom of the page...I don&#39;t go back to those places.<br /><br />With the advanced blocking they have now on blogger, I do not even use word verification. I like to make it simple to talk with me.<br /><br />I never, ever go back to see if someone has commented on my comment.Gailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-28804737376353927952010-11-07T09:43:14.580-08:002010-11-07T09:43:14.580-08:00If I have asked a question i try to go back to see...If I have asked a question i try to go back to see if has been answered - soemtimes I get an email which is nice.<br />Have to admit - I try to answer questions on the comment section and if I have the time will email - if there is an email address.<br />Lots of help wasn&#39;t I - LOLFoleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07550477365183645680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-83022692726817845092010-11-07T08:53:54.158-08:002010-11-07T08:53:54.158-08:00I&#39;m no help, cause I do ALL of the above.

Who remembers to go back to a blog to get an answer!<br />BUT, I don&#39;t think an email comment takes the place of commenting on the blog.<br />I like to be able to go back to old posts and read the comments. It is like a little history.<br /><br />I have read ques like this before, and overwhelmingly people like the comment ON the blog. Answer ques via email!<br /><br />I have a ques for you, oh Techie wizard.<br />I have noticed lately that if I try to reply to a question, I get &quot;no reply blogger&quot;. Some still have their name in an email, but more and more , the no reply thing!Kathleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236724941582496.post-16656378505844255552010-11-07T08:25:10.383-08:002010-11-07T08:25:10.383-08:00Oh I&#39;m first.

Well...giggle, I still...Oh I&#39;m first. Oh boy.<br /><br />Well...giggle, I still hate those blogs that make me jump through hoops to leave a comment. Well did you really think that would change?<br /><br />I love to email comments back to people, it&#39;s more private, and I feel like I am communicating directly with them. Since I rarely look back on the old posts for answers to my comments, that works well for me.<br /><br />Now about those comment moderations thingys.
